Instructions
Slice and Prep Beef
Slice flank steak as thin as possible against the grain for maximum tenderness. Thin slices are the key to fast and even cooking in this quick recipe.
Sear the Beef
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add beef slices in batches and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned.
Make the Sauce
Add garlic and ginger to the pan and stir fry for 30 seconds. Pour in soy sauce and brown sugar and stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the beef.
Serve
Serve over steamed rice topped with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an authentic finishing touch.
